The GT-One was not beaten by any car it race against on pure pace.
(EDIT EDIT: I now realize that I completely misread the OPs, post, and fully admit my own idiocy on this matter.)
In actual races (what else would you call "pure race"?) it won a grand total of zero races.
1998 LeMans - 9th overall, 8th in class / eliminated by crash / eliminated by breakdown
1999 LeMans - 2nd overall, 1st in class*1 / eliminated by crash (due to wheel well design) / eliminated by crash (due to wheel well design) so severe that it ended the driver's career.
1999 Fuji 1000km - 2nd overall, 1st in class
*1 - It was the only entry that finished.
Looks to me like it was beaten by a LOT of cars it raced against, has only a 42.9% race-finish rate, and also ended the career of a driver.
I will never understand why this car is so idolized.
Edit: Yay, 1,000th post!
